Best Go Karting Places in Bangalore: I went go-karting for the first time in Bangalore – I can’t deny saying that I have a wild soft spot for it now! Go Karting, though pricey, is gaining traction among the city’s adventure enthusiasts.
Alas, most go-karting tracks are dispersed around the city, and some are very far from the city’s center. Like most bold experiences in Bangalore like trekking, paintball, or even visiting a pup cafe, it takes a bit of getting around to find them.
But from someone who’s experienced it, it’s worth the few minutes of a sporty thrill ride. Whether you’re visiting Bangalore for a trip, or a local resident here, for the adventure enthusiasts – it’s a must-try! Here’s my list of the best go-karting places in Bangalore.

With the price starting from Rs. 440 for 10 minutes on the Baby Kart, Rental Track 2 – it’s an expensive thrill ride.

2. Patels Inn RT Nagar
.It’s one of the cheapest go-karting places in Bangalore I’ve heard of so far and I loved the experience for the price. However, people who’ve go-karted before on other tracks in Bangalore find the track here less thrilling.
Patel’s inn go-karting is best for a first-time go-karting experience, after all, it’s the cheapest one out there at Rs. 200 for 6 laps.
Patel’s Inn Go-karting prices
As mentioned before, the rates are pretty less here. It gets lesser if you’re a member of the Patel’s Inn club and resorts. I took a picture of the pricing while I visited the place and here’s the listing:
For Members
- Single Seater: Rs. 160
- Twin Seater: Rs. 240
For Non-Members
- Single Seater: Rs. 200
- Twin Seater: Rs. 300
There are also Atv bikes (Rs. 250-300) and Segway (Rs. 200) available though they don’t stand as the main feature.

3. Grips Go-karting & Bowling
Here at the Grips Go-karting Bangalore, only one track here but depending on power and skill level – there’s a range of karts to choose from. Grips further boast of having 40 karts on the spot. With the track closing late in the evening, it offers night go-karting till 9 pm.
The rates here are again fixed for 6 laps. The pricing, when compared to Patel’s Inn, is no doubt higher but it’s reasonable for its well-tuned corners and size. Moreover, the Grips Go-karting primary business itself is modeled on go-karting and bowling, thus the expertise over the tracks and karts.

4. Torq Ezone Go-karting
The go-karting facility here falls under the gaming zone (Ezone club) where you’re required to top up your card to play the games. Go-karting here is expensive, standing at Rs. 700 for 6-8 years olds and Rs. 900 for 7 BHP karts.
The E-zone club combined with a variety of activities like bar, restaurant, and games mainly features its Go-karting on its official Torq03 website. Other featured games here are bowling, and laser tag and the place boasts over 30+ games onsite here.

5. Red Riders
With Go-karting as the Red Rider’s primary theme, the sports club boasts its wide-spaced 750-meter track along and its powerful go-karts. But it doesn’t stop at go-karting. Other sports that regular customers here suggest are zip-lining, bungee-jumping, and paintball.
With a rapo built to attract a young audience, I’d say it’s great to visit for a competitive bunch of friends or colleagues. They don’t offer a diverse range of karts to choose from like MecoKartopia, but it’s go-karting at the end of the day. The pricing here is neither cheap nor expensive considering the track and the spot’s popularity.

Fun fact about the Aruani Grid – it was founded by 2 international rallyists who sunk their feet into both, the world of motorsports as well as business. The ‘grid’ is spread over 12 acres and equipped with a restaurant, podium and pit spot, parking spot, and even a VIP lounge with a track view.
The 1 km track stands as the apple of the eye here for the various go-karts they offer. What makes this spot unique is you can also rent out the track for bike and car racing (yes, you get your own vehicles here) for reasonable rates.
Aruani Grid Track rates
There are various karts available starting from Rs. 450 (4 HP Cub kart) to renting out the track for a set of hours (around Rs. 1000 for 4 hours for biking). I decided not to list out the pricing in order as I found the prices differing on different sites. For updated pricing, contact the Aruani Grid’s site.

Lying at the bottom south-end of Bangalore is the far-off Raceway Motorsports. Notably designed and managed by a creative squad of youngsters makes it an alluring spot for adventure enthusiasts. Soaking in the reviews of the track, many say the track can be further improved.
But considering the hospitable staff here and the cheap rates of Rs. 300 for 10 laps seems all worth the price! It’s perfect for someone looking to spend a sweet evening go-karting and feast here.

However, some spots require a minimum height/age to drive on certain tracks. If it isn’t available, twin karts are also a great option where the adult may take along their kiddos for the joy ride.
